Worlds collide in Fortnite’s Season 5, available now!

Epic Games is excited to announce the launch of Fortnite’s Season 5 is finally here! Players can drop in now and find all kinds of changes to the Battle Royale map. A Viking ship, ancient statues have appeared on the island, and Moisty Mire has been hit with a drought, bringing with it a brand new desert outpost.

Fortnite’s first four-person vehicle has also arrived! Players can hop in a zippy All Terrain Kart (ATK) with their squad and uncover all-new mysteries and locations … the possibilities are endless!

A new season means a new Battle Pass! Packed with more than 100 rewards, including all new toys and cosmetics, players can pick up the Battle Pass for 950 V-bucks to start earning rewards.

GENERAL

When the “Invited to Party” prompt appears in the UI you can now immediately accept the invite rather than having to open the Party Finder.

The News widget has been adjusted to avoid the need for a scrollbar in most cases.

A scroll option has been added for controller users in the event that scrolling is needed.

Updated consoles to use less shader storage. This improves patch sizes and reduces load times.

Optimized file ordering to reduce load times on all platforms.

The “Epic Friends” button now appears on the Main Menu when using a gamepad on Windows or Mac.
